  • Don't bother - Horrible, unpleasant & pricey
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/30/08
    The room looks nice, but it is very noisy. We could hear every single step from next door & upstairs, not to mention that guests were up middle of night flushing toilets!

    We frequently take short trips to Monterey-Peninsula area. Those B&B(s) in Pacific Grove, e.g., Gosby House, Green Gable they all have better service than Ventana.

  • An Expensive Letdown
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/06/08
    We were just at Ventana Inn and would have to say that the room was the best part of our stay. It was well appointed and cozy. The bellmen were generally kind. That being said, the rest of our experience was poor. The service in the restaurant, le Cielo, was terrible and the food, mediocre. also the location of the restaurant was a long way ...

  • The perfect spot for a wedding anniversary!
    Ventana was the perfect spot for us to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. This resort is easily one of the most romantic places in Big Sur, and we've spent a great deal of time on the coast. We reserved the Romantic Getaway package, so our visit included two 90-minute, tandem, in room massages and two spa treatments. Allegria, the ...

  • It's a magical place
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/22/07
    We have been to Ventana many times, and each time it is more special than before. It is such a peaceful and reflective environment. You are so close to nature and so aware of the wildlife around you. If you need to "chill" this is the place to go!

  • A BIT OF A LET DOWN
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/06
    My wife and I were married there earlier this year.....the lady Barbara that runs the elopement package arranging is an absolute moron to deal with. For almost three grand (not including the room) you would expect to be a bit more pampered....we had to drive 40 minutes North to Carmel to pick up our wedding license from some other idiot they keep ...

  • Heaven on Earth
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/23/06
    Big Sur will take your breath away! Ventana's was perfectly designed to compliment its' setting. It's hard to decide if it's more beautiful during the day (gorgeous forest, ocean and hillside views) or night (starlit and tranquil with the perfect soft lighting ). I'd definitely recommend a room with a fireplace and relaxing in ...

  • So right for so long goes so wrong
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/20/06
    First, let me say that, overall, I love Ventana Inn and have often recommended it to friends and associates who visit from here or Europe. The views and the location are unique, the food is usually fresh and well presented.

    That being said -- the restaurant staff is sometimes so inconsiderate and thoughtless that it staggers the imagination. The ...

  • I'll be back
    By A Yahoo! User, 08/08/06
    A nice place to relax and enjoy the nature. You can wander around the area on the beach or just sitting in front of the house reading books

  • Great view
    By lucy_mingle921, 06/16/06
    We go here for lunch everytime we do this drive on Hwy 1. It's the best view you can get of Big Sur. It's nice to have a long, relaxed lunch on the patio with a nice cocktail.
